I forgive you senior for thinkin' that. Because I think your thinkin' is wicked good.
I have a strong belief that sometimes it is best to say Boy Howdy rather than to cut them off at the knees.

I was actually referring to the "wicked good". How can something be good if it is wicked? Coming from New Jersey at the time, it just sounded strange. However, prior to marriage I worked in N.J. with a gal from North Carolina who told me often that her two little boys were "wicked" and then she'd turn around and say they were "wicked good" so I guess it isn't just native Vermonters saying that peculiar phrase.
